Commentary

Fairly useful type. Opened his account at the second attempt over hurdles at Fairyhouse last winter. Bit better than the result when behind Adrienne in a Grade 2 subsequently and form on the Flat this summer looks solid. Opening mark a potentially lenient one on return to hurdling.

What the class read says

Stepping up in grade without clear higher-class evidence yet. Not automatically a negative, especially for a lightly-raced or progressive type.

Ran mid-division in 1 of 1 higher-class runs.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
